Abstract: An apparatus and method is described for multicasting an inlet data cell, received (501) as part of a multicast request, through a self-routing multistage routing network by decomposing (504, 514, 524) the multicast request into one or more intermediate multicast requests, each intermediate multicast request being a unique subset of the original multicast request which enables a non-blocking, self-routing distribution to a subset of the desired outlets of the original multicast request in one or two passes through the network, and by generating (505, 515, 525) a non-blocking multicast tree based on the intermediate multicast requests and routing the received inlet data cell to the desired outlets. The invention decomposes the original multicast request and generates a non-blocking multicast tree using a cube routing algorithm, a copy routing algorithm, or a combined routing algorithm, which is a combination of the copy and cube routing algorithms.

Abstract: A dynamic threshold system and method is disclosed for allocating memory among different output queues in a shared-memory ATM switch. The maximum permissible length for any individual queue at any instant of time is a function of the unused buffering in the switch. The dynamic threshold system and method deliberately reserves a small amount of buffer space, not allocating it to any currently active output queue, but attempts to equally share the remaining buffer space among the currently active output queues. The dynamic threshold system and method improve fairness and switch efficiency by guaranteeing access to the buffer space for all output queues, and by preventing any single output queue from monopolizing the memory at the expense of the others. The dynamic threshold system and method adapt to uncertain or changing load conditions. The packet losses that occur with dynamic thresholds tend to be clustered at a few offending queues, which is desirable in ATM systems, since it results in fewer messages being disturbed at higher protocol layers and, hence, fewer message retransmissions. The dynamic threshold system and method are also extendable to handle traffic with multiple space priorities.

Abstract: A piezoresistive pressure sensor (30) has four resistive diffused regions (32) coupled into a bridge configuration (33) with four junctions (36). Each of the diffused regions has a first end connected to one of the four junctions and a second end connected to a different one of the four junctions. There are four contact diffusion terminals (34) disposed in contact with the bridge configuration, and each of the diffusion terminals is disposed at one of the four junctions such that the diffused regions are electrically connected essentially only by the contact diffusion terminals. Thus, no tap is required to electrically connect the contact diffusion terminals to the resistive diffused regions of the bridge, which results in increased sensor sensitivity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method in which a magnetic powder is packed into a cavity (c) of a rubber mold (m) comprising a rubber material at least a part of which is a mixture of rubber and magnetic powder, and then the rubber mold filled with the magnetic powder are subjected to a magnetic field and a pressure with punches (2a , 2b), thereby compressing the powder to form powder compact. 
     This makes the distribution of magnetic field in the cavity of the rubber mold more homogeneous, and therefore, the distortion, cracking and chipping caused by inhomogenity of the distribution of the magnetic field are prevented, and the resultant powder compact becomes more near-net-shaped i.e., closer to the end product.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for detecting amplified oro unamplified nucleic acid target sequences at increased temperatures by changes in fluorescence polarization. The decrease in fluorescence polarization associated with hybridization of oligonucleotides at higher, more stringent, temperatures is overcome by including a double-stranded DNA binding protein in the assay. At elevated temperatures, the double-stranded DNA binding protein restores, and often enhances, the magnitude of the change in fluorescence polarization associated with single- to double-stranded conversion of an oligonucleotide probe or primer.

Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: An improved method for non-harmonic waveform analysis that permits freedom of selecting intervals and/or frequencies (or periods) for analysis is disclosed. An arbitrary interval of a discrete waveform is multiplied by a sine function having an arbitrary period and the product is summed over the interval to derive a first summation. Similarly, the waveform is multiplied by a cosine function having the same period and the product is summed over the interval to provide a second summation. The sine and cosine functions are multiplied together and the product is summed over the interval to provide a third summation. The sine function is squared and summed over the interval to provide a fourth summation. Similarly, the cosine function is squared and summed over the interval to provide a fifth summation. Based on the five summation values, sinusoids contained n the discrete waveform are detected by subtracting each sinusoid from the discrete waveform to provide an associated residual waveform and detecting each residual waveform whose power is a local minimum as a result of varying the period. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the present invention, the cooling water
temperature sensor is diagnosed using a warming up
counter WCT. The value of WCT is increased by the
increment WCTINC at predetermined intervals after the
engine is started. The increment value WCTINC is
determined in accordance with the engine operating
parameters affecting the rising rate of the cooling water
temperature such as the cooling water temperature when
the engine is started, the ambient temperature and the
engine load. Therefore, the value of the warming up
counter accurately corresponds to the actual cooling
water temperature. In the diagnosis operation, when the
value of the counter WCT reaches a predetermined setting
value, the cooling water temperature detected by the
cooling water temperature sensor is compared with a
reference temperature which corresponds to the setting
value of the warming up counter. If the detected cooling
water temperature is lower than the reference
temperature, the cooling water temperature sensor is
determined to have failed. Since the warming up counter
which increases at a rate corresponding to the actual
rising rate of the cooling water temperature is used, an
accurate diagnosis of the cooling water temperature
sensor is performed.
